If needed add more oil to a pan and add veggies and spices. As veggies start to release moister scrape the bottom of the pan to release brown bits. After brown bits are released return meat to pan, reduce heat to medium-low and cover, simmer for a minimum of 2 hours but 4 or 5 is better. 30 minutes before serving to add a handful of cilantro, cook until stew is desired thickness.
